The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a 17-digit "serial number" that also encodes certain information about the car's place of origin, make/model, engine type, etc. The VIN can always be found on a metal tag visible through the windshield (usually at the front of the dash or on the driver-side A-pillar). By US law, the VIN must also appear on a new car's "official" price-sticker (a.k.a. the Monroney sticker).
